Welcome to Just Posts!
Just Posts monthly round table began two years ago by Jen at One Plus Two and Mad at Under the Mad Hat. This month marks the first (the inaugural, perhaps?) round table hosted here and at Collecting Tokens, by my co-conspirator, Alejna. She and I share the belief that reading, thinking, and writing are partners which lead to positive action. I find inspiration, ideas, motivation, and reason within the Just Posts and give great thanks to the readers, writers, and contributors.
Please take a moment to read some of this month’s posts. The topics include poverty in Bangladesh, U.S. politics, conflict in the Middle East, discussions and ideas for giving, racial stereotyping, gender roles in parenting, environmental change… and more. If you visit a post, please take a moment to comment; a small way of letting others know what you are reading, thinking, writing, and even doing? We want to hear all about it…
